Hooper admits a more secure supply is needed
Government is working to establish a more secure supply of lateral flow tests for the Isle of Man.
That's according to the health minister who says a new procurement framework is being looked at.
Last week Lawrie Hooper revealed almost £6 million had been spent on the home testing kits since the start of the pandemic.
It's a cost he says can't be sustained 'forever' and he's keen to look at sourcing the tests from a wider range of suppliers:
